Can the WM1A/Z+ be done on a mac? I downloaded it and it's an .exe I'd prefer not to get an emulator and I guess I could use my kid's PC but just checking.
Thanks
No, I've been working with MrWalkman to create macOS version but have run into a technical difficult that I haven't been able to solve yet. I will keep trying.

However even if I can get it working it only works with macOS Mojave 10.14 or earlier as Sony hasn't updated their install for Catalina.

@MrWalkman Just one question regarding going back to stock firmware after using WM1AZ+ (1.3 version) or Chamelon. I understand that when using these firmwares is not needed to use the “back to stock” utility/firmware as needed in previous versions and it’s just needed to install the desired stock firmware version, am I right?
thanks!
Correct, if you are using the latest versions of his firmware you can just overwrite it using the Sony official version of your choice. However, make sure if you switched the model you switch back to the original before installing.

Thanks. My iMac is from 2011 and I stopped updating the OS at Yosemite so I would be fine. Ha.

I’ll use my kid’s windows laptop.

I had one of those when I was a kid in the mid to late 90s
I used to have this 'Walkman' as a kid as my parents said the Sony Walkman was too expensive. My beginning game - The Saisho Piece of S*** 50 :relaxed:

I’ll raise you that, my first was a Sanyo where the tape / music would slow down as the batteries ran down!

so grateful for what we have these days, still stoked with 1Z+ and the FiiO FH7, beauty is in the ear of the beholder, and my ears are still smitten

@Whitigir and those interested in AI

I think this video perfectly explains how Machine Learning with classification, training data set and etc etc can reduce computational processing requirements:

@gearofwar I changed to J yesterday and switched back to U. For me U is smoother with more fluidity. Subbass is deeper (pretty like dc type A low). Maybe J has a tad more mid-bass slams so u find U to be "thinner". But that's on my Romi BG 1Z with LXse custom, synergy with Cerberus+ could play a role too
Give the E2 a try :D
